  • LOL
    Tammy, I can just hear Tim telling you to sit down. You still had energy after all that exercising! Wow!!!

    Susan, I'm so sorry about your headache. I hope you get relief very soon.

    I'm going to my doctor tomorow. It's my 6 month check after the blood clots. Hopefully, he'll say no more Coumadin.
    I've been very tired for several days. Could it be from moving????

    I hope everyone had a great OP day.
  • Hi everyone
    Tammy, I get tired reading about all your exercise classes lol-and watch it about the seniors there-i'm 62 - i still feel middle aged-not quite sure how old I think I'm going to live until-just been working hard up here-and not really paying attention to what I'm eating-I'm getting the condo-so I take possession jan 15th-tomorrow I'll get a hold of my bank and go from there-I have been pre approved so I'm not worried about the financial end.

    well hope all are well and let's try and have a good day on program tomorrow

    take care

  • Wow we all have been so busy, I get tired just reading it.
    Tina you KNOW that stress makes you tired and you certainly have been under it especially lately.
    Here's a laugh for you I don't know if I mentioned it here but Eddie had a panic attack when we were selling the house. I guess all those people coming and going. The vet told me yesterday to just give him a valium when he is acting up, as though everyone just has a bunch in their medicine cabinet. I don't think he believed me when I said I didn't.
    I had my H1N1 shot today and my arm isn't even sore. Doc told me if I didn't react its because I was already immune. So now I feel guilty for getting a shot that someone else could have had. Oh well you can't win,
    Went out for supper tonight too, I;m getting tired of chicken and salad.
    Maureen do you have a lot of stuff to move?
    Tammy your energy amazes me. And yes I would love to rumba my bumba in your zumba class maybe we can all link up and do it in front of our computers.
    Susan hows your dog doing?? Do you think the headache might be allergies?
  • Tina, hope you get a good report from the doctor. Yes, the think being tired has something to do with the moving!!

    Maureen, I didn't mean it as a slam against seniors. This class would be tough for anyone who has never cycled before. I've been exercising, and it was really tough for me. Glad it was only 30 minutes. Hooray for the condo!!

    Mimi, oh my gosh to Eddie and the panic attacks! LOL to having valium in the cupboard! I don't think we've ever had any here. doing zumba in front of the computers at the same time would be funny!

    the Emmaus Walk starts tonight, so I won't be on here again until Monday probably. Everyone have a great weekend!!!
  • Hey girls ! How is everyone, if you don't mind I'd like to join this thread
    I joined ww three weeks ago, first week lost 5.4lbs, GREAT I was estatic. Second week I ate good, exercised but used all my bonus points, thought I would see a loss but actually went up 1.4 Lbs. That made me discouraged and come halloween I ate everything in site and have been doing so for the last week. so even though i know i am going to see another gain when i go to my meeting and weigh in tonight im still going to go. normally i would just give up altogether if this happened before but i am changing that. last week at our meeting my leader told us a quote "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got" So I'm gonna start a fresh week, no guilt and work my butt off and next week have a good weigh in : )
  • Welcome C'smom we have all been there and done that, yes please go tonight I hope your leader will have some words of encouragment for you. Just know I am feeling your pain. Now forget about feeling guilty and Learn from the experience. If you are a sugar addict like I am there is no having just one unless its one bag. Thats the only way I can do it is think of sweets like a drug and avoid whenever possible.
  • Thanks Mimi, I'm not a sugar addict, more like a food addict haha I get in moods where I binge and just eat anything and everything I can get my hands on, whether I'm hungry or not. That was the first time in months and I hope not to let it happen again, and if it does not to let it go on for a week lol.

    I just got home from my meeting a little while ago, I was up 1.2 lbs, which is not bad at all considering how bad I was eating. Looking on the brightside I'm still down 2.8 from when I started 3 weeks ago. I ate very well today and I'm going to exercise now. Hoping for a good number next week.
  • Caleighsmommy,
    Welcome to our great group of losers.
    I like it that you aren't down abut the gain. You can do this!!!!!

    Tina
  • Happy weekend!
    How's everyone doing this nice Sunday?
    I have to tell you that I'm finally off of Coumadin. I'm sooooo very happy. It was 6 mos. and 2 days when I saw my doctor. He said I could get off. I go back in two weeks for blood work to be sure I don't have a genetic tendency toward blood clots. I'm sure that I don't.
    So, the past couple of days I've been eating all the green salad that I can get may hands on. Oh, and I've been eating peanut butter, too.

    Everyone have a good rest of Sunday.

  • Where is everyone????? Maybe you are out exercising.

    I have great news----we finished our house closing and have the money in the bank now. It's finally all over with. Now I can get on with living in a tiny apartment for a few months.
    Tonight, Larry and I are going to start going to the apartment gym. It's full of all types of equipment. I'm anxious to start again.
    Hope everyone is well.
  • Well I'm so glad to hear that Tina whew I'll bet your stomach was in knots, and hurray no more blood thinners. esp. that one very hard to take.
    I was down 1 pound this week, and have been out walking almost every day. Its been so beautiful out sunny and mid teens in temp. (that low sixties for y'all)
    I have also been taking an online medical course that is very intense so my brain is getting a good workout too.
    I thought I had missed checking in but well no news is good news right?
  • YEA!!!!!! let's celebrate!!!!!!!! Congratulations Tina!!

    Well, Saturday I slept All day!!! I felt better Sunday. Then had jury duty yesterday, I got out at 9:45. So I came home and just did nothing! Took a nap. I feel much better today! I think this bug has been horrible. It's the first day without a headache too. I was beginning to think something was really wrong.

    I go Thursday for my yearly checkup! Yuck! Love my doctor but not looking forward to going.
  • Hi everyone

    Tina, I'm so happy everything is completed-big relief for you I'll bet-so are you and Larry going to buy again or stay in the apartment? Mimi way to go with the loss-I'm not too far from you now(Ottawa) and it's been nice here too but I haven't been doing too much extra walking-I normally do a lot anyway-at work the way the building is set up I go up and down stairs sometimes 20 times a day so I get a bit of a work out there. Glad you're feeling better Susan. I go see the bank tomorrow to finalize the financing but I get possession I think I may have mentioned - January 15-so will probably move in the last weekend in jan-I booked my flight to Calgary for Christmas - did that on Friday-looking forward to going now-until I bought my place I was a little afraid to go back because I don't think I would have wanted to return. Now I have something to come back to.
    Well let's all have a good day on program

    talk to you later

  • I made easy cabbage rolls for supper tonight so good. I've decide not to make a bunch of holiday treats this year esp. since Mike isn't a sweet eater (thats why he is the slim one in the family). I guess I will make his favourite chex mix. I don't crave it and the points won;t be too high. I had a muffin when I was out yesterday and checked the points whenI came home ((((((12 %$@%))) points and that was without the butter I could have had 2 doughnuts and spent less points, and it wasn;t even that good.
    Anyone have some good low point treats for Christmas, would merigues with pecans be good?
